What is a paint break stripe ?
Posted by Daniel Simard on
Manufactures even today use paint break stripes. Why because they are easy !! A good example is the 1971-73 Mach 1 Mustang. The lower section of the car was painted at the factory but the paint did not have a finished edge. So they feathered the paint at the edge and install a paint break stripe #835 to finish the edge. So it is just as it sounds it is decal over the painted section.
